Challenge Corner discussion

If your inner wolf and your body react rather enthusiastically to a psychotic Alpha male who’s own wolf has a tendency to turn feral, it can’t be a good thing, can it? Entering into a bargain with him wouldn’t be good either. Unfortunately, Taryn Warner, a latent wolf shifter, doesn’t have many options open to her right now. Okay, she has no options. Basically it comes down to whether she’ll do what it takes to escape the arranged mating with the sick SOB that her father set up. As the answer in this case is yes, it looks as though she’ll have to agree to Trey Coleman’s deal…she’ll have to mate with him instead.

Having always disliked shifter politics, Trey Coleman hadn’t bothered trying to form alliances with other packs. Now that his uncle – a wolf with many alliances – means to take Trey’s territory and his pack, he has no option but to form some alliances of his own very quickly or he’ll be easily outnumbered in the upcoming battle. He figures that the easiest way to do that would be to mate with a female whose Alpha is powerful and influential. There’s only one problem with that – he would then be stuck with her, and the last thing Trey wants is a mate. When he hears of Taryn’s situation, he offers her a deal – if she falsely claims he’s her true mate and allows him to claim her, he’ll save her from her arranged mating and then let her leave after the battle with his uncle is over.

Sounds like a pretty straightforward deal...but soon Taryn and Trey realize they got more than they bargained for. Their mating instincts to protect and possess are weighing on them, they crave each other’s touch and company, and their inner wolves don’t like it whenever they’re apart. Add in that they’ll have to deal with this for an entire three months until the day of the battle finally arrives, and they’ve got themselves a recipe for disaster – or maybe for something quite the opposite.

Warning: This novel contains an extremely sarcastic Alpha female, a broody possessive Alpha male, bitter in-laws, voyeuristic enforcers, a whole lot of dirty talk, and steamy bedroom battles for dominance.
Reader Advisory: This book also contains a graphic ménage scene - not for the faint-hearted.

Jamie! I'm gonna start this one after I finish the book I started yesterday.

I gave up on Wintersong. -.-

So I start yesterday because it sounded like a good smut book. But I'm 55% in and all there is is sexual tension between the MCs. HOWEVER, the story line is actually really good. So I'm liking this even without the smut.

That's okay. I haven't started this yet because I'm almost finished with the book I started Wednesday.

Starting this now!

I’m only at 8%. I ended up falling asleep last night while reading this. I like that it throws you right into the story. No wasting my time reading 40% of the book that really has no purpose, ya know? (view spoiler)[I can’t wait to see how long it takes for her to give in to Trey. He seems like a hottie bad boy. My favorite type! 😍 (hide spoiler)]

22%(view spoiler)[Can I please say that I love this book?! LOVE! Well I mostly love the bad as fuck Taryn. This is the type of female I love to read about. Hot damn. And that dominating sex between her and Trey. Yessssss! I am totally loving his book so far! I hope you are loving it. Or if you’ve finished I hope you loved it too! Lol. (hide spoiler)]

45%(view spoiler)[I still love this book. Taryn and Trey are so good together. I wonder if they really are true mates? It’s said enough times that they aren’t. So plot twist! They really are. Lol. (hide spoiler)]

At 26%. I love the smut in this. I love Trey

Right. He is just so damn sexy!

63%(view spoiler)[I knew it. I just knew it. Lol. True mates right there! (hide spoiler)]

81%(view spoiler)[This book is a lot longer than I thought it’d be. Holy cow. But anywho, I love Trey and Taryn. They are so adorable together it drives me crazy! Lol. I love how protective of one another they are.

I wish she could end up not being latent. Or whatever the word is. That would be a real HEA.

I am intrugued enough to want to continue on with this series. But I know it changes POVs and I love Trey and Taryn so much that I don’t know if I’d be okay with only having them in passing. Ya know? Another female MC is 100% NOT going to live up to reading about Taryn. So I’m still undecided on if I eventually want to continue. (hide spoiler)]

92%(view spoiler)[Trey loves her. I know he does. He hasn’t said it. And he says he doesn’t know how to love her. But all those “pangs” in his chest. That’s the love that he’s feeling. He just doesn’t understand what that is. And it is so painful to read about his poor litttle self because he doesn’t understand the love he feels for Taryn. Blah! I only have 8% left. I’m not ready to give these two up yet! 😩😢 (hide spoiler)]

I haven't gotten much reading done. Had a horrible busy weekend. But I'm at 36%.

(view spoiler)[I'm mad at Trey (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, he's an ass for a bit. But it gets better. Lol. :D

I finished. And let me just tell you I LOVED this book! Like seriously loved it!

(view spoiler)[It was rather annoying that I predicted the events that took place. But I guess if you really look at it, it was kinda expected. (hide spoiler)]

It's good. And Trey and Taryn are like my favorite type of MCs to read about.

I just got to the part where Trey found Taryn in a guest bedroom and he found out it was her mom's anniversary.

OHHHH! So good! He is so sweet to her at that part.

I love Dominic's horribly cheese dirty jokes.

Yes! Hahahahaha. Those crack me tf up. And her bickering with Greta. So hilarious.

Felicia wrote: "Yes! Hahahahaha. Those crack me tf up. And her bickering with Greta. So hilarious."

Yes it is. I kind of feel bad for Tao

Omg. Poor little guy! He obviously has to be one of the next few books. So hopefully he got his HEA.

Right but not with Selma.

Wait, you think he'll be with Selma!?

Felicia wrote: "Wait, you think he'll be with Selma!?"

No, but some authors tend to put people I like with people I loathe. I'm hoping this author doesn't do the same.

Oh! Hahaha. I thought you wanted him to be with selma. Hahaha.

Felicia wrote: "Oh! Hahaha. I thought you wanted him to be with selma. Hahaha."

Hell no. That bitch is crazy.

Lmfao. She definitely is. I loved when Taryn put her dumb ass in her place. :D

Felicia wrote: "Lmfao. She definitely is. I loved when Taryn put her dumb ass in her place. :D"

Right. So last night I read some of the insults that her and Greta have to Wy and he laughed.

Me too! I read one to my sister. Because her and I are constantly saying we give zero fucks. So when I read 'She raised her index finger in the air and said "Just give me a second. Attempting to give a fuck…Attempting harder to give a fuck…Sorry, there was an error. Fuck not given."' I was fucking dying. I laughed so hard. It was like 2 in the morning and my sister was in her room watching That 70's Show and I went in there and we were laughing so hard that I started crying. Lmao.

Yes I think this is the best heroine I've read about this year.

Right! She is just too funny. That's why I say that I don't think I want to go on with the series. No other heroine will compare, ya know?

Oh, I also found another reverse harem series I want to read. Check it out and let me know if you wanna read it with me! :D They'rew short books and it looks like it might not be finished. But I'm not entirely sure yet.

Elizabeth and the Clan of Dragons

Sure why not.

Yay! When can you start? I think we'll finish that one rather quickly. Since they're only like 120 pages each.

Thursday seem okay with you?

Perfect. I just started Kit Davenport #4. I have to get it finished by tomorrow for the challenge. So Thursday is perfect. I'll make the thread. I hope it's good. It seemed alright.

Didn't seem to bad. We've read worse.

Yes we definitely have. I forgot to make the thread. I'll make it now. :D

Here we are. (:

Almost done. Reading about their mating ceremony.

That is cute. I loved that book so much!

Felicia wrote: "That is cute. I loved that book so much!"

I do too. I think I will continue with the series.

Let me know how it goes. And if the next females are as good as Taryn. I really want to but I just can't make myself actually do it.

Felicia wrote: "Let me know how it goes. And if the next females are as good as Taryn. I really want to but I just can't make myself actually do it."

I sure will. I want to see how Dante's story goes. A lot of my friends who have read it have Joe Manganiello casted as Dante.

I FINISHED AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NOW!

That was so good!!!

Mmmmmmmm! He's hot. I don't know though. I feel like they are all like late 20s or early 30s. He just seems a bit too old to play Dante. Although Joe is definitely one fine ass man. Lol.

RIGHT! And they fucked in wolf form in front of everyone! That would be hot if it wasn't wolf form. We can just pretend it was like a giant human orgy. Out in the woods. Totally hot. Lol.

I'm so glad we read that one! It was ridiculously good. We need to find more smutty books with heroines like Taryn.

Girl, I also REALLY need you to read Kit Davenport. It is sooo good. Like just as good as this one. But like better because it's a long ass series with hot af guys and a heroine just like Taryn. Lol.

Yes we must.

I kind of laughed during the mating of the wolves because in my mind I could help thinking of the song who let the dogs out. Could not stop laughing. Had to skim through the rest of that part.

I do plan to read it. I just don't know when.
